- Abstract
The relationship between the utilization of pornography and the implementation of sex education in schools is a convoluted and contested issue that involves various stakeholders. Studies indicate that, despite the prohibition of pornography sales to individuals under the age of 18 in Australia, there is a prevalent trend among the youth who consistently engage with such material [22][17]. The deleterious and stereotypical material in pornography, which is widely accessible online, has the potential to inflict damage upon adolescents. Adopting a feminist pragmatic ethical perspective, the article advocates for the incorporation of both pornographic literacy and feminist pornography into sex education, asserting its potential benefits. This stance aligns with the World Health Organization's endorsement of comprehensive sex education as a method to foster healthier interpersonal relationships and mitigate harm.
